[Wine] Adding a dir to PATH without using regedit (for an NFSinstall)

Hello Bill,

thank you, it seems to be a good method.

I've found an easier solution though - just changed
this line in the file share/wine/wine.inf:

HKLM,System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment,
"PATH",2,"%11%;%10%;C:\apps\actperl\bin;Z:\epoc32\tools;Z:\epoc32\gcc\bi
n"

And it somehow gets copied to every new Wine user (which I wanted).

I wonder what does the "2" above mean...

Regards
Alex

What I do is use regedit /e to export the
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment, grep
to extract the current path, and see if the addition is already in it
and sed to put it in, then use regedit <filename> to put the modified
path in. (in other words regedit can be run in batch mode)

Seeing as how you are talking about perl you'd probably prefer a tiny
pelr script to do that bit.
